Are you referring to the link in my sig? (Hard to tell because you 
didn't trim your quote to the relevant portion of the message you were 
replying to.  :-(   )  If so, I am still working on it.  :-)  I hope to 
have everything usable within a couple of weeks.

Thought about it at one time, but I don't think I could make them 
inexpensive enough for people to buy them from me.  I am still thinking 
about possibly selling the LED boards and a pre-configured compact flash 
with Linux and Myth already setup for the technically challenged and for 
people that are just too busy to want to mess with it.

Not yet.  I am a horrible writer, so step-by-step instructions may never 
happen.  As for "gotchas" the biggies are waiting for better CN400 
support from the unichrome project (these guys are amazing, especially 
considering they get *no* help from VIA) and adding support for the 
VT1625 HDTV encoder.
